Hey, Heidi. I've known you for years from some forum we were both members of, but you probably don't know me. (I'm not US-based and never hung out with the GDC crowd or anything) I saw your GoFundMe when it happened and wanted to reach out, but I also thought it would be super weird, cos I'm just some rando on the interwebz. I guess what I'm trying to say is that your story was beautiful, sad, and full of love, and that I hope you're okay.

Thank you very much. I’m far from ok at present bc it’s only been a month, but I start therapy tomorrow (paid for by that GoFundMe, thanks to those folks!!!), I’m safe and cared for at my mom’s, and I have the time and resources to figure out how I pick up the pieces.
Finishing this was HUGE in that regard bc part of this is I needed to prove to myself that I can still make art. After my son died three years ago, I’ve been creatively blocked. So please, don’t anyone else die for a while bc if this is the switch, the next one might turn me back off. 😅
Also FYI, I’m always happy to hear from kind, cool people, and if it’s the forum I’m thinking of, then nobody from there is anyone I think of as a stranger on the Interwebz. 💜
